Firefox Community Forum

All of a sudden Firefox started to use alt+number (e.g. alt+3) to switch to that tab (i.e. tab 3 in my example).

Why? How do I disable this? It prevents me from typing any of the special characters that are located on alt + any number key. E.g. I can type the at-sign, not the dollar, or any such character which requires the alt-modifier and a number.

Hello,

I'm experiencing an issue with YouTube video playback in Firefox. When I watch a video in Picture-in-Picture (PiP) mode and then close the PiP window, the video automatically pauses on the main tab in the browser.

My expectation is for the video to continue playing in the background tab after the PiP window is closed, similar to how it works, for example, in Opera GX browser.

I have already tried changing the media.videocontrols.picture-in-picture.pause-on-disable setting to false in about:config, but this did not resolve the issue. The video still pauses.

I believe it would be a significant convenience if Firefox allowed videos to continue playing in the background rather than pausing them when the PiP window is closed.

Is there any way to fix it?

After exporting bookmarks.html from Ffox on old computer, importing it to Ffox on the new one, all good, except that bookmarks toolbar shows on the imported list but doesn't display as toolbar.

Every time i load a page i have to quickly click on the link. If i don't it will not load. Every website that has a drop down menu wont allow me to click. In order to click anything i have to refresh the page and click the link before it fully loads or else it just wont register. And it wont register across the entire page. Can't open in a different tab, cant do anything.

Doesn't happen with anything other than your browser.

I want to keep using your browser but its becoming incredibly annoying and i often have to jst say "fuck Firefox" copy the link to any other browser and it works perfectly.

Hi,

Yesterday I opened Firefox and found that it had completed a factory reset (without asking me) and I have lost all of my data and settings, particularly from plugins (Simple Tab Groups for example). I have a folder called Old Firefox Data on my desktop, and I have copied the files into the profiles folder from about:support, but I have still lost all my settings.

This is extremely frustrating and will take a lot of time to get everything back to how it was. Please let me know how to restore to my old state.

Hi Mozilla Community,

I’ve been experiencing some issues with video playback on Firefox, specifically on YouTube. Videos seem to always play in a choppy manner, no matter the quality settings. I’ve tried clearing the cache and updating Firefox, but the issue persists. I’ve also checked my internet speed, and it's stable, so I'm not sure where the problem lies.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Any suggestions on what might be causing the choppy playback or how to fix it?

To give some context, I was also recently looking at how efficient high-speed trains operate around the world, and came across a fascinating comparison of the top 10 fastest trains in India. Just like video streaming, maintaining high performance and smooth operation is key — it made me realize how even small optimizations in streaming might have a big impact on the experience.

I appreciate any help or insights from the community!

Thank you!

Is there a way to permanently set sorting from A-Z? When I open a file & go to site, I then have to reset sorting within the folder when I go back. Using down arrow sends me to the next folder. Have been Mozilla user for decades but didn't open account until recently. Always set to my default, even on latest PC, in conjunction with other programs. Don't like Microsoft programs.

Guess I probably owe Mozilla a donation but have tight budget, as Sr. on Social Security. Maybe I can contribute a small amount if that would help?? Don't want a subscription. Can't afford it.

I can't delete my search history even though I click on "clear history". what is going on? I even have history on my "private browsing " page on firefox. What gives? Can this be fixed?

Hi, I was asked if I could contact you by google disability.

I'm having a huge problem creating a channel on youtube with a live.co.uk account when using NVDA.

I press b until I hear account menu button button submenu, pres enter or space, then arrow down to create channel and press enter. Nothing seams to happen.

Google disability has shown me a couple of video or audio files proving that it can be done, they've even said that they tried creating an account with an outlook account, what live.co.uk is called now from my understanding.

SO I'm really confused as to why they can do it and I can't.

I can't show you with OBS because it messes with my screen readers speech so if you have another way I can show you; please let me know.

I've already tried the following, suggested by disability support: 1. uninstalling and reinstalling firefox.

2. making sure addons are disabled, the only one I left enabled was a volume booster but I doubt that would be the issue.

3. Setting NVDA back to factory settings and disabling all addons.

This has been confusing me on and off for up to a year now.

I find the use of validation tests (captchas) with images abusive. One may have to click on those pictures for 10 minutes before he can open a bookmark. this is showing more interest for bots than for persons. As a result I avoid using Firefox as much as possible, and turn to other bowsers that will met you get what you want. why don't invent another system?

Whenever i search something on google, firefox desktop (all fine on android) is failing to display the ai(gemini) answer no matter what questions i ask.

Same happens in the "AI Mode" option that is available in google's recent update.

And, I,m logged in.

This started since a week, everything was working fine before that.
